Mallow610 – COMING OUT – LIVE

[Dan (Mallow610):]Source: LYBIO.net
So I’m about to come out to my mom and like to try and keep it together. My arms are shaking that’s why I’m like holding them. I’m kind of like freaking out right now. It could be the Starbucks. But so I’m about to do, she is going to be home in like 15 minutes. So I wanted to film this ahead of time. And okay wish me luck.

Hi Dan.

[Dan:]
Hi.

Why did you call me and ask me when I will be home?

[Dan:]
Because…

Because why?

[Dan:]
Because I was wondering…

Because you what…

[Dan:]
I was wondering.

That’s it. You were just wondering.

[Dan:]
Yeah, what?

I thought you were cooking or something.

[Dan:]
No, not actually.

Because I was going to go out with [Rosalie] anyway, so it’s a good thing you’re not cooking. Are we having people come over?

[Dan:]
No.

Is there something different about the house?

[Dan:]
No.

You cleaned what?

[Dan:]
No, I didn’t clean.

What’s going on?

[Dan (Mallow610):]Source: LYBIO.net
I won’t tell you. Nothing

Yeah,,, yes sir. [what’s there.]

[Dan:]
No.

All of a sudden you call me – when will you be home? What’s that about? Are we having a guest or something? What is going on?

[Dan:]
Nothing.

I can tell something is going on.

[Dan:]
Nothing is going on.

I can tell that by the way you are looking at.

[Dan:]
No.

What’s going on?

[Dan:]
Nothing.

I – you have to tell me what’s going on, I don’t understand what’s going on.

[Dan:]
Ugh fine.

Why don’t you just tell me?

[Dan:]
No, go to the bathroom.

And then what?

[Dan:]
I’ll tell you.

I have some guesses.

[Dan:]
You’re not guessing.

I have some guesses.

[Dan:]
Okay.

You got a job, like a real job, professional job.

[Dan:]
No.

You got something YouTube related of the job, your movie, [you have movie].

[Dan:]
No.

I don’t want you to move what is it something with YouTube. You got an award of some sort, one of your videos is…

[Dan:]
Not the awards.

On the top page again, or kind of something.

[Dan:]
No.

Is it something with YouTube?

[Dan:]
No.

Well, I don’t know, tell me.

[Dan:]
I’m gay, surprise.

Daniel, Daniel.

[Dan:]
What? I know you probably already know but. I wanted to make it official.

You know what? I’m so proud of you. You know why I’m so proud of you?

[Dan:]
Why?

Because, I think, I have known. I’ve asked you and you know you’ve told me no. I’ve seen some things on YouTube and I’m just letting you -.

[Dan:]
Okay, well.

Not YouTuber, yeah, YouTube I guess it was. And I’m – I’m – I’ve just been waiting for you to say something. And I think that’s why I said to you couple of weeks Daniel I need to find courage to be who you are.

[Dan:]
I know, I got that hint.

You did?. And that’s okay with me, I love you. Are you afraid to say it? Were you?

[Dan:]
No, I don’t know why. Like I knew you wouldn’t have a problem with it, that’s why I’m like I don’t know what was wrong.

But of course I knew you were in problem, I think, I questioned whether the problem isn’t you and my fear for you is that there’s prejudice in the world. You know that.

[Dan:]
Okay.

Well, I know, but you have to be careful, because there is prejudice in the world. You know that.

[Dan:]
Okay

Like, we have to be careful and safe. You know that’s all I’m – that’s all I’m saying. But you know, I’m okay with that, for sure. So what made you – is this what’s been the rift between us for five, six years?

[Dan:]
Not six years.

No it’s at least four years.

[Dan:]
No, I just recently…

Since you went to school.

[Dan:]
Recently – I just recently realized.

You just recently REALIZED? So you were not one of those when you were 13 you knew?

[Dan:]
No.

You didn’t know when you were 13?

[Dan (Mallow610):]Source: LYBIO.net
No, when you asked me in the car – coming home from school I wasn’t sure either so –

I don’t even remember when that was, you know, I’ve asked you a couple of times. I’m just trying to give you an out if you were; because you know – you know, I think, parents always kind of know.

You know its okay with me. But – but you need to be – and you know I’m not big proponent – let’s advertise our sexuality. But when people are gay, because of the prejudice in the world, in the bigotry and all the horrible things that you know, “the stigma’ which is not, you are lucky now is not so bad.

But if there is still, that’s why I say there is still lot of prejudice people in the world, because of that, you know, I think, people who are gay feel they have to come out and announce it. I mean I don’t announce I’m heterosexual, right?

[Dan:]
No.

I mean but – but, I think, for you, because you know those stigma, you are afraid to have, you know, a date, or a friend, or whatever, a boyfriend or I’m okay with that Daniel. I wish you would have. And I – one of the things I was going to talk you about two days ago when you were sort of friendly to me was that, well the day we had pizza, you didn’t sit down with me. I was going to – I was going to…

[Dan:]
I was busy.

I wasn’t going to say anything about you being gay. I was going to say that no, no, I have it strongly in my mind for at least four weeks to try to approach it with you. I even looked online “how do you talk to your child about being gay,” because I mean I need you to be who you are. And you only discovered recently. Most people know when they are a lot younger. I didn’t have…

[Dan:]
You have to go for your dinner.

I know, but I looked up the other day even I was watching YouTube videos it was about people coming out. I was because…

[Dan:]
Was it the Tyra Banks show?

No, no, just some few guys I saw there. I was watching because, you know, and then the YouTube videos were kind of boring, because basically they are droning on and on and on over their parents this and that, you know. You know and people asked them well, are you sure? Of course, sure, aren’t you? I mean, for me you are not sure you might be bi, maybe you’re bi.

[Dan:]
Yeah, yeah, but I don’t know.

So…

[Dan:]
I don’t see myself with a girl.

Alright, so then…

[Dan:]
But in the future I would see myself with a guy. But, that’s why it took so long, because I was just so confused.

Cause you are not sure. Well, you know I hope you are happier now.

[Dan:]
I hope so too, that’s why did it.

That’s why you did it, I mean…told me?

[Dan:]
Well that’s why like, I finally realized that I need to do something because I have been unhappy.

And this is…

[Dan:]
And…

This is one of the …

[Dan:]
To myself.

Yes, you are and I think in your own mind maybe you don’t want to accept it, because of the bigotry, and all that but…

[Dan:]
Yeah.

But I was trying to save you, you need to find out who you are and – and you know, get guidance on where you’re going. I’m okay with it. Do you have a boyfriend, if you have a friend, or boyfriend or a date…

[Dan:]
No.

They are welcome here Daniel. And I want you to be…

[Dan:]
I don’t date anybody.

Well, this is what – this is what I was going to talk to you about. I want you to be happy in life and I want you to not be afraid to be who you are, try not to be stubborn and not passive-aggressive you need to address things head-on. Otherwise, you make yourself miserable. Your stubbornness is a choice. Yes, it is, because I was stubborn when I was your age, not quite your age, because I gave that up sooner. I decided to myself it wasn’t no.

[Dan (Mallow610):]Source: LYBIO.net
How do you — [Indiscernible].

It’s a choice Daniel. You choose to be stubborn. You could make a different choice when situations come up.

I am a great mom and you know how people react? You probably watch videos and everything. I mean don’t you feel better having said it. Well, you know what? I think you are gonna be better off now.
